Question: Needing hip hop love songs

pumpkin11 — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:03:15 -0800

Looking for hip-hop/rap love songs along the lines of the International Players' Anthem by Outkast (cute, sweet, but still funny and an actual rap song) to put on a mixtape for my significant other.

Other songs that would fit on the tape:

Hey Ma- Cam'Ron

Paris, Tokyo - Lupe Fiasco

Thanks so much for your suggestions!!

Ghostface Killah's "Save Me Dear," and "Holla." For some more old school flavor, try Black Sheep's "Similak Child."

Zero 7 - Somersault (Danger Mouse Remix) ft. (MF) Doom. Doom's last line is hilarious.

Common - The Light
CunninLynguists - Beautiful Girl
dead prez - Mind Sex (this song is terrible, but is ridiculous enough that you might want to include it)
De La Soul - Jenifa Taught Me
Fabolous - You Make Me Better
Prodigy - Hold You Down (not specifically a "love" song, but the sentiment is there)
Also see anything Ja Rule did from 2000-2005

Ja Rule is abysmal please don't use him on a mixtape even if it's for an enemy.

Digital Underground -- Kiss You Back
Basically the whole Love Movement album by Tribe.
Maybe some Beasties?

And then there's my personal favorite loverap song. Schaffer the Darklord, Nerd Lust. Such truth.

Jay-z & Beyonce - '03 Bonnie & Clyde (remake of the above)
Baby Bash & Frankie J - Suga Suga
Plies & Neyo - Bust It Baby Part 2
Plies & T-Pain - Shawty
Fabolous & Neyo - Make Me Better

That song is by UGK..

I Can't Wait Akon f/T-Pain is very sweet
"You're All I Need" is a total classic, cosign on that
Bonita Applebum Tribe Called Quest also classic
When I See U remix Fantasia/Polow da Don/Young Jeezy
T-Wayne Can't Believe It
Jay-Z Sunshine, I guess Jay is embarrassed of this video though!
You Got Me - The Roots/Erykah Badu - classic!
Beautiful - Snoop
I know Lil Kim is on this song but, Sugar is alright

Common's "The Light" is great, but I'd go with "Come Close" featuring Mary J. Blige. Also, Heavy D and the Boyz "Now That We Found Love."

This is super late, but Albany by Kev Brown. My girlfriend put it on a mixtape for me a while ago and I loved it.
